Skoda Fabia

Skoda Fabia is the popular supermini which became the first car to overhauls Skodas previous not so good reputation. The first model to use VWs A04 Platform, which it shares with the VW Polo Mk4, it was available as hatchback and estate. The Skoda Fabia was the successor to the Skoda Felicia, which was discontinued in 2001, and was first launched in 2000.


Its success contributed to Skoda gaining Manufacturer of the Year 2000, from Autocar magazine. The car was also Best Supermini in What Car? magazine that year and went on to win lots of other awards over the following years as it carved out a reputation for comfort, performance and reliability along with excellent value for money. 2008 models, available in hatchback and estate body are the best yet, benefiting from choice of five-speed manual transmission, fully synchronised with direct gearshift, and automatic transmission with 6-speed Tiptronic, in a wide range of engine options, including diesel and petrol versions. Along with its great stylish, sculpted, chunky look with wraparound windscreen and a whole range of top level features the new Skoda Fabia looks set to gain an equally enviable reputation, for value for money, as its predecessor.
